Which of the following statements regarding defects of vision in human beings is correct? I. A person with Hypermetropia can see nearby objects clearly but cannot see distant objects distinctly. II.

The correct answer is Neither I nor II.

Key Points

  • Far-sightedness, also known as long-sightedness, hypermetropia, or hyperopia, is a condition of the eye where distant objects are seen clearly but near objects appear blurred.
    • This blurred effect is due to incoming light being focused behind, instead of on, the retina wall due to insufficient accommodation by the lens.
    • It can be corrected using a convex lens. It helps focus the rays entering the eye on the retina.

"Too often we try to solve human problem with non-human tools and in terms of non-human data. It is my simple thesis that a human problem requires a human solution. First we have to learn to recognise a human problem when we see one; and second, upon recognising it, we have to learn to deal with it as such and not as it were something else. A human problem to be brought to a human solution requires human data and human tools". Who said this?
